Celebrate Women's History Month
March is celebrated as Women's History Month and a time to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of women throughout history and the amazing women leading the way every day. In Detroit, we celebrate influential women leaders, activists, entrepreneurs, entertainers, creators, innovators, and citizens. Check out some of the ways you can pay homage to the women who shaped Detroit this month.
Detroit Traditions
There are a few can't-miss Detroit traditions that are a must on any traveler's list for March. The first is March du Nain Rouge. Legend has it that the Nain Rouge has been a harbinger of doom since the time of Detroit's founding. Each year a parade is held in the Cass Corridor to trick the Nain and drive it out of the city! This year's parade is Sunday, March 24.
The second festive tradition is Detroit's St. Patrick's Day Parade. On Sunday, March 10, thousands of people will gather in the historic Corktown neighborhood for one of the largest St. Patrick's Day parades in the country. In addition to the parade, you can enjoy all of the delicious food in the area, including traditional Irish fare as well as other tasty treats!
